All proposed amendments, supplements or changes originating
by petition or by motion of the Village Board shall be referred to
the Village Planning Board for a report and recommendation thereon.
The Village Planning Board shall submit its report within 30 days
after receiving such referral. Failure of the Planning Board to report
within the required time may be deemed to be approval of the proposed
amendment.

thereon, as provided by law. The notice of hearing shall be published
in the official newspaper at least 10 days prior to the hearing. Such

or by the Planning Board on request of the Village Board.
After the public hearing and referral to and report by the Planning Board, a majority vote of the members of the Village Board shall be required to amend this chapter, except as described in §
157-42, Protested amendments.
